ABSTRACT
Introduction: The cervical cancer screening is very low (22% to 36%) in India among women. HPV testing has been shown to be more sensitive than a pap smear exam. Several shreds of evidence proved that self-collection of samples for cervical cancer screening can increase participation and follow-up as well. Women may feel more feasible to collect their own samples, rather than going to visit a health worker for cervical cancer screening.
Objectives: To assess the existing level of knowledge on prevention of cancer cervix among experimental and Control group women at the selected Villages of Boudh.
Methodology: Quantitative research approach and Quasi experimental design was adopted in this study. Simple random sampling Technique was adopted to select the sample for the study. Total 20 Samples – 10 for experimental group and 10 for control group were selected.
Result and Findings: The result shows that during pretest the mean was 6.1 with SD 4.23 whereas during post-test mean is 17.8 with SD 2.14. The mean difference was 10.3 with t value 6.65 shows highly significant. Similarly in the control group the mean level of Awareness was 2.1 with SD 2.66 and the mean of post-test is 6.1 with 3.17.
Conclusion: This highlights knowledge increased in the experimental group after the education programme.
